Might be making a small dent.

I like what Walmart are doing, but I'd like to see my own modest programme implemented:


-Any attempt to buy an assault-style weapon precludes you from buy any firearm of any type for five years, pending a psychiatric evaluation.

-If a customer storms out of a gun shop after being informed of the three-day waiting period, police are to be alerted.

-'Concealed carry' would be permitted, but all holders of this permit would be required to wear a sandwich board proclaiming, 'I Am Armed.  This Is Because I Am Too Insecure To Leave My Home Without My Penis Extender'.

The rotary glass had, maybe..one ar-15 in it at the store.  Now they just put another ruger autoloader where the ar-15 used to be, lol.  Cynical pr stunt.....from three years ago....that did what? They still carry the airsoft guns, btw...they just had the manufacturers add an orange tip on all the barrels that didn't already have them. They come off, ofc.

The biggest dent we could make would be to start on the mental health crisis in America. It would be easier politically, cheaper, more moral and might actually work.

     What about raising the price of ammo? If they did that and forced the manufacturers to give 35% of their profits along side a 12% from the retail to a mental health/drug fund to benefit an overall improvement state of our country's background check and mental health system. We we will never be able to rid ourselves of the gun nuts, but at least they help with the this issue from their hobby.

That is predicated on the idea that all mass shooters are mentally ill. Being violent isn't a mental illness. Hey, I'd love to see more access to mental health care in this country, but, off the top of my head, I can only think of two mass shootings where the perpetrator was definitely mentally ill and not just angry at the world.

Yeah, I'd be in favor of that. I mean just a tax on guns and ammo that funds mental health care.

Hehe, they're already funding conservation...how many things do you want to make dependent on gun and ammo sales for funding?  Wink
